Dana Altman has brought another face he's familiar with to the University of Oregon basketball program.

Kevin McKenna was named to Altman's staff Monday morning the Ducks announced.

McKenna spent the past three seasons as the head coach at Indiana State after nine seasons as Altman's assistant at Creighton.

"We're very excited that Kevin has chosen to join our program," Altman said in a statement. "He brings a wide variety of experiences and I think he's someone who can benefit our program in a number of areas."

McKenna's coaching career spans 21 years. Last season he coached ISU to it's first winning season since 2001.

McKenna had two stints under Altman at Creighton, the first from 1994-2001 and then 2005-2007. In those nine season the Bluejays went to four NCAA tournaments and two National Invitation Tournaments.

After his first stint at Creighton, McKenna spent four years as the head coach of Nebraska-Omaha. During that span he lead the Mavericks to three NCAA Division II tournament appearances and was named North Central Conference coach of the year in 2004 and 2005.

McKenna, 53, is the second former Altman assistant to join the staff since Altman took the job in April. Brian Fish was hired after spending 11 seasons under Altman at Creighton and Marshall.

As a player, McKenna lead Creighton to two NCAA Tournament appearances, in 1978 and 1981. He was drafted in the fourth round of the 1981 NBA draft by the Los Angeles Lakers and won a NBA title with the team in 1982. He is the only person in Missouri Valley Conference history to win a regular-season title, tournament title, NBA championship and CBA title.

This marks the second hiring in two days for the Ducks. On Sunday, Altman announced the hiring of former Jefferson High standout Michael Lee as assistant director of basketball operations.
